About the tides at Petit Bois Island

Petit Bois Island usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Wednesday, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 22, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on December 23.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 1980 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Pascagoula, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min later. For tidal currents, see Horn Island Pass, Lb 17.
